Kaggle Competition - APTOS 2019 Blindness Detection

Oh-my-god, kaggle competition about diabetis… Hmmm, I have something to do these days… It’s also a GOOD chance for me to learn some medical terms… In this blog, we’re going to try out this kaggle competition - APTOS 2019 Blindness Detection.

1. Pre-processing Diabetic Retinopathy Images

It’s NOT hard for us to locate APTOS [UpdatedV14] Preprocessing- Ben’s & Cropping, which seems to me a professional snippet of code preprocessing diabetic retinopathy images. Let’s just try it out directly.
